It has helped me to have a lot more compassion for ME, never mind them!! LOL! Thanks for taking a minute to read and to leave a comment. Means a lot!Betsy Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14485990713613274522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393382965737174819.post-49099871096112034212011-12-14T01:00:05.401-05:002011-12-14T01:00:05.401-05:00Beautifully written!

I like to think that I don&#39;t judge them but I have--one of my great grandfathers. I&#39;ve written a post about something he did that I will probably never publish (or rewrite it so it won&#39;t be so harsh). After I wrote it, I began to wonder what his life must have truly been like for him to have gotten to the point where his life really unraveled.Catherine Pendletonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04654928883264450088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393382965737174819.post-51647454861807898122011-07-31T00:00:37.339-04:002011-07-31T00:00:37.339-04:00I stopped back again to add my thoughts but I see ...I stopped back again to add my thoughts but I see that they actually posted.

I don&#39;t know if I conveyed that very well! I really appreciate your input. It does me a lot of good to see and hear how what I say is heard by others so I can grow!Betsy Crosshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14485990713613274522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393382965737174819.post-51351907806788918672011-07-29T01:31:43.569-04:002011-07-29T01:31:43.569-04:00I wrote a comment and it got &quot;lost&quot; some...I wrote a comment and it got &quot;lost&quot; somewhere - error #???.<br /><br />Anyway, I appreciated this post and I&#39;ll try to come back tomorrow to leave my complete comment.Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3393382965737174819.post-79473943970873673712011-07-29T01:23:57.184-04:002011-07-29T01:23:57.184-04:00I liked this post, Betsy.

I can&#39;t say a specific time when working on my family history helped me learn something about myself, though I think I tend to be non-judgmental of my ancestors. When I think of how hard their lives must have been and how little I know about their hearts, I can only believe they did the best they were able in the circumstances of their lives. I&#39;ll ponder your question.... Thanks for this post (and the previous one, too).Nancyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12136584654825212359noreply@blogger.com
